Dear People of Ansteorra
I am speaking to you as a citizen of Ansteorra and I would like to talk to you about our very important 30Th year celebration. You might think July is a long way away. It is on the other side of the Gulf War which all of you are thinking about but It is really just around the corner.
The strength of our kingdom has always been the people. It has always been the households that make things happen. I don't mean the giant households like Rolling Thunder or Wolf Star. I mean the small  household starting with just a couple and maybe their children or 3 unrelated people who declare them self an household. That was the definition at the time of our being a kingdom. 
This 30Th celebration is a time for all of us. To show our love for our kingdom and share our love of history and reaffirm our cherish values. 
When I was at Border March I talked to Gleann Abhann Crown Prince and he showed me all the beautiful things that they were making to come to our celebration. They were working very hard to make beautiful costumes and jewelery new banners and all sort of things. They were doing it to honor us because they knew we would be going all out for the event. 
I realized that I had let a lot of my stuff get old and I wasn't thinking about 30Th. It was a long way away. Then I figured out I really didn't have that much time if you put it on top of everything else I was doing. It three day event and while not Hraba Jan and need to change ever hour I need to look good the whole time and I haven't made a new dress in five years. 
Now I am sure you all have done better but I thought I might offer some help people. I would be willing to help people draw out decorations for their campsites if they could do the painting. Also I would be willing to teach people how to make the kind of wall hangings I make. I would also help with design. I have about five set designed and researched but never done. 
Ansteorra is famous for its persona play and I would be willing to help people get started on a persona. Just call or write me. I got books and I might be able to help with your research. 
I don't know if you know this but both Gleann Abhann and Calontir sing all the time. At Border March the only songs I heard were in honor of .Gleann Abhann I think it would be sorry thing that the only singing at our celebration was about other kingdoms. 
None of us have the money to print a song book but many Ansteorran songs are in people website. I thought if the people who wrote the songs would be willing to list the URL's of their sites we each could copy the songs and make a songbook and then we could get together at events and learn the tunes. I think it would be very moving if the people of Ansteorra raise up their voices  in spontaneous song. 
I have talked to long but please think of ways we can made this event special and I would love to hear what you are doing.
